[Cob] roof first, roof second...posts?

I think I agree with Lance, that if you want to do pure cob, the roof should 
be last (although Ianto's book mentions building a roof on temporary poles, 
then lowering it onto the house--which leaves me shuddering).

It is, however, not what I'm likely to do.

Even with the earth oven, the roof is going up first.

The only real disadvantage I can think of is that it may give you a false 
feeling of having built a house.  So you work sporadically instead of 
continuously.


.................
Anyway, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself; what's the general consensus:
posts and roof first, or walls first?
